Pedantry, but hopefully interesting: Gattaca is spelled with two A's. The letters in the word are from DNA base pairs: guanine, thymine, adenosine, and cytosin

Pedantry, but hopefully interesting: Gattaca is spelled with two A's. The letters in the word are from DNA base pairs: guanine, thymine, adenosine, and cytosine. Attica is a part of ancient Greece. Also a prison in New York. Not sure which reference the creator of Gattaca intended. Maybe both.
